Comparing impacts of fragmentation on bird functional and phylogenetic diversity in primary and secondary rainforests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that compensatory patterns of species introduction fail to account for the loss of ecosystem functions due to the decline of forest‐dependent birds. As such, conservation policies should be targeted towards species that share traits associated with disturbance sensitivity, such as insectivory, ground foraging and low dispersal ability.

The impact of tree mortality and post‐disturbance management on insect diversity in temperate forests: Insights from a replicated experiment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our experiment provides strong evidence for the importance of clustered tree mortality for comprehensive insect diversity in temperate forests and highlights the potential of forest management to enhance insect diversity in homogeneous commercial forests, particularly through the creation of canopy gaps and the retention of deadwood. Both mimic natural

Biological invasion by the cycad‐specific scale pest Aulacaspis yasumatsui (Diaspididae) into Cycas revoluta (Cycadaceae) populations on Amami‐Oshima and Okinawa‐jima, Japan

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
This article details the invasion of cycad aulacaspis scale into the islands of Okinawa‐Jima and Amami‐Oshima. Several recommendations are proposed in this article by members of the IUCN cycad specialist group and experts in the biological control of this scale insect.

Testing the efficacy of surface swab sampling to determine postmortem submersion interval (PMSI), using the microbiome colonization of skeletal remains

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation contributes valuable information in the medicolegal investigation of decomposed human remains, and estimating the postmortem submersion interval (PMSI) can specifically aid investigations involving victims discovered in aquatic environments.
